Same problem, long work to find C1 blown then good for half day. Now sitting dead as fuse repeatedly blows. Found this forum on hope and applied history: 1-3 bank Vcam solenoid went bad 6 mo ago, cant afford to pull motor and replace with an expensive faulty part so just put up w idling rough. AFTER reading this, aha maybe solenoid has failed worse to a short. Pulled rr wheel and clipped wire. Starts right up no blown fuse! THANK YOU I can go home now. Promise myself only one more failure and shes going to the scrap yard.

I don’t remember which fuse it was, but had a short in wiring of one of my O2 sensors. They are on the same circuit as the fuel rail. Once sorted, all good. 02 3.2
